Something’s missing. It’s missing from the relationships in our families and our workplaces. Sometimes, it’s even missing in the church.

Unfortunately, we’re not talking about conflict – there is plenty of that to go around, and we probably experience more than our fair share daily. When that conflict gets intense, often the easiest thing is to just walk away. But that’s not how it should be, and not how God intended things to be.

The Gospel is meant to produce something far better in us, in our relationships, and in our culture. But it takes work – often in the form of honest self-evaluation, as we will learn in this weekend’s message.
